R5: just started checking it out. It's cool and has some advantages of others. It's hella expensive. Thoughts?

Def check out Boost. I've used both and can't find anything in sync to warrant the coat vs. Boost. That said, Boost is worth the cost for sure, and if Boost wasn't an option, I'd consider sync.

Voyager is free.

Since no one in this thread mentioned it: Thunder is also great, open source and free.

Never tried it, but thank you for the recommendation!

[-] appel@lemmy.ml 1 points 8 months ago

Sure thing!

And it's pretty decent, Voyager is definitely worth trying!

I'm a long-time fan of Boost and admittedly biased as I love its UI and UX. But Voyager is definitely a good one.

I use Connect.

Plenty of features. Last time I checked, it was on par, or better, with sync. As ad-supported freeware, sync just bas too many ads, which on my phone turns into endless black squares of blocked content.

You van support Connect with the usual buy-me-coffee thingy.

I also use Connect. I wonder if some of these alternatives have fewer issues.
